Isone that can be used, by the entire family, young and old, weak and strong, without any danger of harmful effects. It should have properties which in- sure the same dose, always hav. ing the same effect, otherwise the quantity will have to be increased and finally loose its effect altogether. These proper- ties can be found in that old family remedy, Brandreth’s Pills because its ingredients are of the purest herbal extracts, and evary pill is kapt for three years before bsing sold, which aliows them to mellow. We do not be- lieve there is a laxative oun the marlc t that is so carefully made. Brandreth’s Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used. They have been in use for over a century and are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated. Primary Election Law. The nomination of United States senators and state officers by direct primaries and the formulation of the party platforms by the candidates are provided for in a bill introduced by Senator John Mconan of Waseca. The bill s similar to the Wisconsin pri- mary election law. Senator S. B. Bedford of Rushmore introduced a Dbill regulating the charges to be made for sleeping car berths. The bill makes it unlawfu for any company to charge for the use of a lower berth between two points In this state a greater sum than $1.50 and for the upper berth between polnts in this state more than $1. Senator John Moonan of Waseca in- troduced a bill making elght hours the limit of continuous service of rail- way employes except In extraordinary oases. A bill declaring the ownership of the state in lands lying beneath the waters of meandered lakes or rivers ‘was introduced by Senator S. B. Bed- ford of Rushmore. The bill is in con- formity with a recommendation of 8tate Auditor S. G. Iverson. Senator George H. Sullivan is the author of a bill introduced for a “Greater Stillwater,” which provides & method of annexing territory adja- eent to cities having between 10,00: and 20,000 inhabitants. While general dn its terms, the bill refers particular- 1y to Stillwater, where there is a con- slderable population in what is known as Oak Park, which is just beyond the ofty Hmits and really a part of the ofty except for the purposes of the city government. An Income tax on mortgages is pro- vided in a bill introduced in the house by Burdette Thayer of Spring Valley. ‘The tax provided is 10 per cent of the dncome or the interest upon the debt wecured by the mortgage. History on a Watch Face. Almost the last work of the Belglan estronomer Houzeau was an artlele in ‘Wwhich, while arguing in faver of a dec imal division of time, he pelnted out the origin of the double set of twelve hours represented on our watch and clock faces. The anclent inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the number 12 as an arithmetical base because it has four divisors—viz, 2, 3, 4 and 6, while 10 has only two divisors—viz, 2 and 6. ey counted twelve hours in the day and twelve in the night, measuring the day by the progress of the sun and the night by the progress of the stars across the sky. This system, prevall- Ing over all others, has come down to us, and so our watches bear on thelr faces a souvenir of those anclent days when the sun served for a clock hand half of the time and the stars the other half. Why Is It Here is a question in naval science which 18 to the average sallor man a riddle unsolved. Take a vessel of, say, 2,600 tons; place on it a cargo of 8,500 tons. This glves you a total of 6,000 tons. Hitch a little tug to this ves gel, and she will yank the big craft along at the rate of six or eight knots an hour. Now put the tug’s machinery in the big vessel. It won’t move her half a knot an hour. Why Is this?

Wisconsin and Minnesota. -TWO GENTS STRAIGHT NEBRASKA RAILROADS ABOLISH ALL CLASSES OF REDUCED PASSENGER FARES. AGENTS GIVEN SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS COMMON CARRIERS RETALIATE FOR ADVERSE LEGISLATION IN THAT STATE. Omaha, March 8.—In retaliation for adverse legislation, culminating in the passage of the 2-cent per mile passen- ger fare bill by the Nebraska legisla- ture, all Nebraska railroads, includ- fng the Union Pacific, Burlington, Northwestern, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island and Great Northern, have is- sued circulars absolutely abolishing all classes of reduced fares. Under the head of “special instructions” the circular says: “Agents must not honor clergy per- mits, reduced rate orders, orders or instructions for rates for disabled vol- unteer soldiers, orders for charitable rates, or any other form of a reduced order, whether for a state or inter- state journey, in any portion of Ne- braska. “All excursion rates, one way round trip, whether on excursion or certifi- cate plan, at present authorized for conventions, assemblies, events, etc., homeseekers’ excursion rates, one way settlers’ rates, reduced theatrical or party rates, commutation rates or any other special rates, elther one way or round trip, applying between two points, both of which are in the state of Nebraska, are hereby cancelled.” The circular concludes by declaring that it is the purpose to make the 2- cent rate the only possible rate to ap- ply on Nebraska passenger fares. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rallroad company, through General Manager Holdredge, has announced that ‘the work on the mammoth freight depot here, for which the .plans had been completed, would be stopped until the conditions reach a more settled state. TO INCREASE FREIGHT RATES. Conference of Western Roads Called at Chicago. Chicago, March 8—Following the bxample of Eastern railroads Western Mnes are preparing to make increases in" freight rates by changes in the commodities. A call -has been issued for a special meeting of the Western. trunk line committee to be held Mon- day and it s said the purpose is to consider the advisability of taking out or .changing commodity rates. There Is declared to be no doubt that the traffic men are preparing to take out commodity rates wherever it is thought possible or safe to do so. As these are always much lower than the class rates and are created for the purpose of granting concessions their abolition necessarily raises the tariffs. ROOT WARNS HAYTI. Americans Must Not Be Picked Out for Discrimination. ‘Washington, March 8.—Acting upon ecomplaints of a number of American oltizens engaged in business in Hayti to the effect that they were being op- pressively treated and driven out of the island by the government of that country in the course of its policy of excluding foreign merchants from par- ticipation in Haytlan trade Secretary Root has instructed American Minis- ter Furniss to inform the government of Hayti that this country can not per- mit discrimination against American cftizens and must insist that any de- eree of expulsion must be applied to all foreigners as well as Americans. EXPERTS ON THE SCENE. WIII Decide Regarding Steel Plant at Head of Lakes.

ITALIAN OFFICIALS STRICKEN., Minister of Justice Dead and Minister of Finance Dying. Rome, March 8.—Signor Gallo, the minister of justice, died during the morning of syncope. He was born in 1849 and formerly was minister of public instruction, president of the ohamber of deputies and minister of education. Signor Massimini, the minister of finance, who was stricken with apo- plexy Wednesday, is said to be in a dying condition. The impression caused by the death of Signor Gallo and the condition of Signor Massimini is intensified by the fact that the former is the sixth min- Ister of different Giolitti cabinets who has passed away while in office. The opposition newspapers are even hint- ing at the possibility of a ministerial crisls, but in well informed circles this is not considered to be likely. VIOLATES LAW JUST PASSED BONAPARTE’S OPINION ON IM PORTATION OF IMMIGRANTS BY SOUTH CAROLINA, ‘Washington, March 8.—A statemeni was issued by the department of jus tice during the. day concerning ar opinion submitted to President Roose Velt” by Attorney General Bonaparte as to whether certain immigrants whe were landed -ini'South Carolina last fall are legally:in this country.

The attorney general holds further, however, that under the provisions of the recently enacted immigration act the Immigrants in question could have been excluded.

Bywaters, have been pronounced mot guilty by the jury. The twelve men who tried the ocase spent an hour and thirty-two minutes in reaching their verdiot.

He thought the administration had arrived at the conclusion that more consideration could be shown to railway matters. Regarding his views on the general situation he said: “We all make mistakes; we some- times have to back track. I've had to do it.” Mr. Harriman went on to talk about the enormous sums of money put into railway improvements, saying that his own roads had spent something lik: $260,000,000 and that the country & whole had been imm 1 fitted by the developmer & roads. It was intimated riman that he expected to vi Wa-h Ington again shortly by appointment ‘with President Roosevelt. SPOONER DENIES STORY.

Hill of the Great Northern railway at a salary of $50,000 a year: “Mr. Hill offered me the place of general counsel of his roads in 1884. I have not met Mr. Hill since then, nor have I had any communications from him. The story that I will be in his employ is a fabrication, pure and imple. 1 did not announce my re- irement from the senate to become the lawyer of any single corporation.” STOCK MARKET EXCITED BEARS CONTINUE VIGOROUS ON- SLAUGHT ON PRICES OF SECURITIES. New York, March 8.—There was continued excitement and disorder in the early stock market as an after effect of the turmoil of the previous day.. The opening movement of.prices indicated that the bear party had re- covered from the demoralization caused by the unexpected report that control of Reading had passed. A vig- orous onslaught on prices was made at the start.” Reading itself relapsed 8 points and Canadian Pacific dropped over 3 points on a renewal of the pre- vious day's weakness. There were a number of other declines of 1 to 1% among the most active speculative stocks. An immediate rally followed and the nervous and unsettled state of the market was shown in the fre- quent fluctuation and great activity of the trading. The failure to clearup the mystery surrounding Reading was the unset- tling influence. The identity of the buyers and their motives remained in doubt. The sundry opinions on the subject were of an accumulation for new con‘rol, a remewed speculative movement by powerful interests on the long side of the stock, or a mere thanipulative movement in the market to drive in shorts and make an ad- vantageous market for disposing of further holdings. ‘The weakness on the stock market became more general in the final hour than at any time during the day, al- though the volume of the liquidation was not notably heavy. Union Pacific reacted 3 points to the low level of the morning, St. Paul and New York Central got about 1% below, Great Northern preferred 2, Chesapeake and Ohio 2% and Louisville and Nash- ville 3. INSIST 'ON MARTYRDOM. Woman Suffragists Enbarrass British Authorities. London, March 8.—The woman suf- fragists, by insisting upon martyrdom, are placing the authorities in an em- barrassing position. Mrs. Deshard, a sister of General French, and several of her fellow agitators have been re- leased after a term in prison for par- ticipation in the recent agitation at the house of commons. Several of the suffragists an- nounced their purpose of forcing the authorities to keep them in prison un- til suffrage legislation is enacted. LA FOLLETTE FOR STEPHENSON.

GENERAL WAR MORE THAN LIKELY HONDURAS SECURES SUPPORT CF ALL OTHER REPUBLICS TO CRUSH NICARAGUA. ‘Washington, March 8.—Mexico and the United ‘States are using their kindly otfices in an attempt to effect a settlement of the trouble which threatens to involve all five of the Central American republics in war. Mr. Creel, the Mexican ambassador, had a long conference with Secretary Root and- Mr. Corea, the Nicaraguan minister, and Mr. Calvo, the Costa Rican minister, also called at the state department, but there were no late advices and none would even comment on the situation. The impression is still general in diplomatic circles that Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rica are about to throw their support to Honduras in an attempt to crush Nicaragua and to humble President Zelaya. It can be stated positively that there is no thought of intervention on the part of the United States and Mexico is be- lieved to be unwilling to intervene. Although strong efforts are being made for an arbitration of the griev- ances which threaten to result so disastrously the opinion prevails in ‘Washington that the five republics will all become involved in actual war. SHOWS SELF-RESTRAINT. Present Russian Duma May Not Ee " Dissolved. St. Petersburg, March 8.—The self- restraint exhibited by all parties at the first session of the lower house of parliament is accepted by the press of St. Petersburg as reducing the probability of a speedy dissolution. This parliament, according to the newspapers, will make a far better record in constructive legislation than its predecessor. The cordial manner in which Pres- ident Golovin was received in audi- ence by Emperor Nicholas, the action of the caucuses of all parties and, above all, the decision of the Con- servatives to support the petition for the granting of amnesty to all polit- fcal prisoners except bomb throwers confirms this probability, the press writers hold. NEW YORK DOCTOR SUMMONED. Archie Roosevelt Sald to Mave Had Turn for Worse. New York, March 8.—Dr. Alexander Lambert of this city, who has several times attended the children of Pres- ident Roosevelt, was hastily sum- moned to Washington during the aft- ernoon by a message informing him that the president’s son Archie was worse. The message Is said to have read: “Come at once. Archie has had a turn for the worse.” Dr. Lambert left for Washington on a train leaving Jersey. City at 2:10 p. m. Archie Roosevelt is ill with diphtheria. ‘Washington, March 8. — Archie Roosevelt had a turn for the worse during the day, but is doing better again. FOR. NEW SCALE OF WAGES. Committee of Butte Miners Given: Power to Negotiate. Butte, Mont., March 8.—At the spe- clal meeting of the Miners’ union the report of the committee that met John D. Ryan, managing director of the: Amalgamated Copper company, sev- eral days ago, was accepted, and the: committee was given extended power. toward bringing about an agreement’ concerning the new scale of wages.
